The Steel Guitar Forum

Big event at Pearl's Dancehall abd Saloon tonight! Kristi Kalyn's CD Release Party with special guest Steve Helms!! Eight piece band, film crew and live recording, too! Plus - FREE ADMISSION!!! Show time 9:00 pm!

fyi: Pearl's has it's own parking lot next to the club. Also, usually on Sundays there's not quite as much activity going on so parking shouldn't be a problem.

Oh, one more thing. I use a BJS bar, an amazing piece of equipment by my friend Bill Stroud! Hi Bill!! See you in Dallas!!

Hi all! I ran into Jerry Webb last night and he told me about this post so I thought I'd answer a few questions. The keyboard player on the videos is Chip Bricker from Texarkana. A super player and person! He has a great studio just this side of Texarkana and is currently touring with Gene Watson. I...

John, if your pending sale falls through I'll take it.

David, Thanks again for coming out to Pearl's Saturday night and sitting in with us. It was great fun for us! Next year we need to see if we can get you out on the dance floor!

Gary is extremely busy playing shows, doing recording sessions, giving lessons, making sure that all Rains S...

Ray, you might try Angel Vet Clinic in Flower Mound. They're just a few miles north of where the convention is and they're fairly reasonable, have a brand new facility and are very dependable. I use them when I'm on the road. 2940 Long Prairie Rd (Hwy 2499), Flower Mound, TX, 75022 PH: 972-539-1800....

I'm looking for a used Black Rains D-10 with any combination of pedals and knee levers, any set-up, at a reasonable price.

With David Ball.

Scott, I sent you a reply to your email. Yes, Corky Owens will have his guitar at the show and it is a Day set-up. Come by and try it out, and be sure and say hello.

Gary Carpenter, Corky Owens, Junior Knight and I will be there throughout the week to help Gary show and demonstrate his fantastic guitars and it will be a great opportunity to see some old friends and make some ...
